Mapster

Version: 1.5.3

by: Nevcairiel [More]

Mapster is a very simple world map enhacement addon, which was designed to work in conjunction with all other map addons out there. The idea to create Mapster originated from pure lack of a simplistic addon that only modifies the world map, without adding a full scale feature set.

Features

Map Style (Scale & Alpha)
Coordinates
Fog of War removal
Enhancement of the raid/party group icons
Access to the WotLK Instance Maps from anywhere!

You can access the Mapster configuration menu through the new button on the world map, as shown in the screenshot.
All features (except the style) can be turned off individually if you do not need/want them.

If you're looking for a replacement to Cartographer, i also recommend the following addons:

Gathering -> GatherMate (Hosted on WoWAce -> Download)
Waypoints -> TomTom
ZoneInfo -> Cromulent
Notes -> HandyNotes | HandyNotes Modules

I second this, I used Cart for a long time till I found Mapster and now I use all the above addons plus QuestHelper which I still find much better then the built-in one.

-- Awesome, you're the best!

I don't get what you really mean by the first. The Blobs can only be drawn for one Quest, sadly. For Minimap, well thats not Mapsters terrain!

-- And I thought about the whole Mapster isn't the MiniMap thing right after I posted that, lol. I'll go bug the author of Chinchilla.

No. HandyNotes + HandyNotes_Guild are the way to go there.

-- Grabbing HandyNotes now, thanks!

I like that you can hide the border and artwork in the mini mode, but I was wondering why you can't do it in scale mode?

Because it wasn't finished yet, and i wanted to get the 3.3 version out, will be added!

1) Ability to scale Blizzard's New Quest #s on the Main Map, those things are quite the huge.

I was thinking about that, will see if its easily possible

2) Ability to Enable / Disable Blizzard's New Quest #s / -All- Quest 'Areas'. Currently you can only see the quest blue area for the quest you've got highlighted, and nothing shows on the minimap.

I don't get what you really mean by the first. The Blobs can only be drawn for one Quest, sadly. For Minimap, well thats not Mapsters terrain!

Is there a way to see Guildmates on it built-in?

No. HandyNotes + HandyNotes_Guild are the way to go there.

Bornabe A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 133 File comments: 288 Uploads: 6	Re: wont open in combat Mook, FlightMap works fine, you need to go into it's options to have it show Unknown Flight Paths, etc... pretty much check all it's options and it'll show you all the Flight Masters, including ones you've not visited. I didn't have to visit any with Mapster + FlightMap + TomTom myself. ----- Add one more to the Cartographer Convert Crew, I LOVE your latest release of Mapster, it's vedy vedy nice. If I may put in a request: 1) Ability to scale Blizzard's New Quest #s on the Main Map, those things are quite the huge. 2) Ability to Enable / Disable Blizzard's New Quest #s / -All- Quest 'Areas'. Currently you can only see the quest blue area for the quest you've got highlighted, and nothing shows on the minimap. 3) I know you've noted no support for older Dungeon Maps... but is there a possibility to incorporate perhaps if a user has Atlas Installed, maybe the Atlas Maps so when we're in a Dungeon, it shows that Map instead? Smacking M is a lot easier than opening Atlas. I'm using Mapster in the BornabeUI Compilation now and am VERY pleased with everything you've done. The simplicity of Mapster couldn't be beat. Is there a way to see Guildmates on it built-in? Last edited by Bornabe : 12-11-09 at 07:32 AM.

Mook A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 6 File comments: 120 Uploads: 1	Flight Master Icons Howdy! Another user who's jumped ship from Cartographer to Mapster + TomTom, and lovin it! Question - does anyone know of an AddOn that can successfully put the FlightMaster icons on the Mapster map? I really, really miss this, but FlightMap apparently won't work on the Mapster WorldMap. Oh, one other thing (damn users right? - I used SuperDuperMacro and the keybindings for Bartender4 to setup a keypress to be able to toggle the WorldMap size from big, to small, to big, etc. Adding a keybinding directly into Mapster to allow for toggling between the big and small maps would be awesome. Excellent AddOn! I appreciate all the work you've put into it! EDIT: Doh, please forgive my noobishness, I apparently just need to (re)talk to each of the FlightMasters before they show up on Mapster. Nvm! Last edited by Mook : 12-10-09 at 04:18 PM.

Ugmar A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 6 Uploads: 1	Cartographer replacement I'm currently in the process of replacing my long time friend cartographer with something a bit better, trying out Mapster now and like what I see. Using tom tom and gatherer there is (for now) just one feature im kindof missing from using cartographer, and thats when you open the map there is a brief indication to where your player arrow is, some flashing thingie to help you notice your current location. Do you have any plans to add a similar feature? Edit: Oh, I found the Player Arrow Scale, @200% that helps alot =) Still, its nicer to have a small arrow and let it flash or minimap-ping like animation when you open your map, just to let your eyes naturally draw to it, but much less important to me now =) AWESOME addon, you made my addon-break day a lot more cheerful Last edited by Ugmar : 12-09-09 at 08:04 AM.
